Are you enjoying the sunshine? Or is there a dark cloud or shadow hanging over you? A sinking, anxious feeling inside?
If you are the adult daughter of an emotional unavailable / toxic / narcissistic mother then you may feel dread at the thought of a visit or phone call.
You may feel guilt or confusion if you have gone no contact.
Just know, you are not alone.

Golden Child - on a shaky pedestal having to be an over achiever and give your mother what she needed. Maybe a precarious position as it would be easy to topple off if you didn’t perform.
Scapegoat - felt less than? Overlooked, neglected, useless and unlovable?
How did this affect sibling relations - as children, as adults? Mistrust? Competition? Rivalry?
Both being manipulated and controlled.
What was your experience?

What was it like for you with a vulnerable narcissist mother?
- did you grow up feeling responsible for the emotions of your mother?
- were you hypersensitive to her moods and so focused on managing anything that might trigger her?
- were you controlled and manipulated by guilt tripping, tears, the silent treatment?
- did you feel you couldn’t go to her with your problems, worries or doubts? She wasn’t emotionally available and didn’t notice you.
- were you compared with other daughters and how attentive and generous they are to their mothers?
- were you told that she wasn’t appreciated or thanked by anyone in order to gain sympathy?
- do you recognise yourself as a people pleaser? Always putting the needs of others before your own? Do you struggle with your identity and feel anxious?
How is it for you?

What was it like for you, being brought up by a grandiose narcissist mother?
You may see patterns looking back on your childhood and adult life so far.
- did you feel like a supporting character and she was the star?
- did you feel that you were emotionally isolated? Your needs and feelings were disregarded?
- your achievements were her achievements - you were an extension of her so you were under pressure to be successful so she could bask in your reflected glory.
- you weren’t seen as an individual and weren’t expected to have your own views and ideas.
Does this sound like your experience?

Adult daughters are being heard!
The taboo topic of problematic relationships with mothers is a real thing.
Feeling isolated with no one understanding why …
- you want distance.
- you feel controlled.
- you crave peace.
- you switch from resentment to guilt.
- you feel hurt & confused.
- you question what is wrong with you? Are you unlovable?
- you want to break the cycle .
I offer therapy working with adult daughters to navigate a way forward.
